Likely Cappy right (non-throwing) shoulder surgery

[whizkid]

Per the JS blog. On the way home I heard Bill Michaels say it was going to be done and recovery would be 4 months.

Edited so nobody else will misread and have an aneurysm - MSC.

Must...repeat...same phrase...incessantly...lack of research effort...provides nothing else to talk about...

Not a big deal since it's on his right shoulder. Should be fine for 08.

Am I reading the article on Brewers.com correctly? I seems to indicate that his labrum was partially torn when we traded for him.

[dadofandrew]

Gord says it was torn.

 

In your non-pitching shoulder, I would assume they'd just leave it.

[pogokat]

the only thing the torn labrum in his right shoulder wold hamper is his ability to do stupid things like dive forr balls...it was a non-issue baseball wise, all though it's probably bugging him when he tries to get something off the top shelf at the grocery store..

[logan82]

I am not to worried because it is his non pitching arm. I would still have to question not getting it taken care of sooner since, I believe, if something is partially torn it will most likley at some point tear all the way. What if he had torn it the rest of the way in the middle of the season?(please no jokes about how it wouldn't have mattered this year since he pitched so poorly)

Jeez, moderators please put "non-throwing shoulder" in the thread title!

 

EDIT: Well, nevermind. I'm an idiot and skipper right over the word "right". Just assumed the worst.

[crackley]

haha that last post is funny.

 

at least im not the only idiot on here. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

I wonder how he actually hurt it. This could limit the possibility he is traded at the winter meetings, but again it's his non-throwing shoulder so maybe it won't scare any teams away.

[Tbadder]

This is absolutely horrible news. I was counting on him switching to righty since he obviously can't pitch with his portside. Geez, one more piece of trade bait down the drain.

[Team Canada]

I heard this on the radio and freaked out since they didn't specify which arm it was. Oof.

[Cracked Bat Collector]

He probably tore it when he hit that hr http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Any posibility that this injury worsen over time and that it affected his mechanics that might have impacted his effectiveness?

 

Just looking for hope for next season I guess.

[kgbaseball]

There should be barely any restriction in shoulder range of motion. I have a hard time believing this would affect his pitching, but you never know, I guess.
